I have a set of the WAF that TET made and they are nice,as
Mark said I had to ream the holes out,but other then that they have not chipped

key.
I am ready to install my WAF. Should I do anything to seal the wood under the
WAF's?

At a minimum you should seal the wood with spar varnish.

of course you want to completely finish the wood before putting
anything on top of it

Should you varnish the wood before sticking foam to it? I would have thought
it might not bond so well with a layer of varnish in between.

Your thought is correct, resin, at least epoxy, does not play well with
Varnish. If there is an area you are going to have to put glass on, do not
use varnish. You can always coat the wood with some resin.

Hi All,
Is any one else out there worried about the edge distance on the WAF's? They
are only 1 1/2 inches wide and the 8 AN3 bolts in each one are only about 1.5
D from the edge.
If I had it to do over again I think I would make my spar caps thicker at the
root and I would make the center cap
One more time.I have never heard of an incident due to WAF failure in
the 30 years that the KR has been flying. But you are right to be concerned
That is the point on the KR that seems to concern builders more than any
other point. Me included.

My training in maintenance tells me that no fastner should be closer then
1.5 times its diameter to the edge. So, it's OK.

If it were my plane, I would make new ones. If I didn't, I would worry about

Structurally you could install a vertical backup bar on each WAF which would
strengthen the joint and pass inspection.

Hi all,
Just a few quick questions, I've just finished drilling my spars for the WAF's
and am not sure about painting them.
Should I glass blast them and paint or just leave them raw? I've had them lying
around in the workshop for a bout 6 months now with no signs of surface rust !!

4130 will rust so it will need to be protected. The nose strut that Diehl

Hi guys
I am busy puting my wing spars together and was wondering the following:
1: How precise should the inner wing attach fittings fit between the outer
waf's, I know a slide fit is desisable but this is wood we are dealing with
and things might not be as precise as if the spars were milled from
32 matches
